Weather Planet and DARMOSHARK Japan Launch Gaming Gear Collaboration
This collaboration goes beyond typical licensing by having the VTubers directly supervise product specs and pricing, resulting in custom models with exclusive configurations rather than simple rebranding.

VTuber unit Weather Planet, consisting of Ruka Amagai and Hinata Appare, has collaborated with DARMOSHARK Japan to release a line of gaming gear including a mouse, keyboard, and mouse pad. Pre-orders are open from June 19 to July 19, 2026. The products were developed over a year with direct member supervision of specifications and design.
Weather Planet members Ruka Amagai and Hinata Appare each selected a base mouse model from DARMOSHARK's lineup for their collaboration designs. Amagai chose the magnesium-alloy M2, while Appare picked the compact M3 XS. The mouse pad and keyboard were also jointly developed, with the keyboard receiving a JIS layout specifically for the Japanese market-a first for DARMOSHARK, which previously only offered US layouts. Illustrator Mitarashi Neko handled the keyboard's artwork.
